What amperage is it rated to put out, looked and cant find it anywhere. I have a PS3 that needs 5.5 amp to work and the last converter wouldnt pull it

Hey there I have a 55" Samsung UE55f6510 TV from the UK, as well as an imported Playstation 2 and Gamecube all attached to my litefuze and they all work flawlessly. Here is the exact answer you are looking for The manufacturer recommends you purchase a transformer that is 100% higher then the wattage you need.You should know that you will never damage your appliance with a higher wattage transformer, however if you buy one that is not powerful enough, it will not work. Use Amps to calculate watts Volts (times) Amps = Watts, For Example 110V x 5A = 550W Remember to leave at least a 100% slack for the transformer. Using them to maximum capacity will eventually burn the transformer out after prolonged use. Some items, such as, laser printers and power tools spike when you turn them on. For these types of situations you need to buy a transformer that is at least 3 times the items capacity.

Hi i think if it is 3000w it is 3000va so if you divide 3000 in the v you get your amper 220v or 110

Honestly I would just give up and run to an airport or train station and buy a new one from another company. As I said in my review, even when mine was in converter mode, if didn't limit the power like it should. It fried one device, but luckily everything else was dual voltage. If your things are dual voltage, my next question would be are you using it worn an extension cord or power strip, because it doesn't like those. Just make SURE your stuff is rated for the higher volts and plug them straight in.

The supply brick says 0.35 max (amps, presumably). It only puts out 3 A at 5 V, so the actual draw is probably closer to 0.2 A.

I bought a converter for less than 4 bucks to fix same problem. http://www.ebay.com/itm/321593667135 From what I've read, not all USB ports supply enough power. The USB Port Jack Wall Charger AC to DC Power Adapter Converter got me going. Good luck with yours!

I suggest you buy a converter which supports power at least 3 times larger than what you really need, this will make you less trouble. Thus for your PS, 500W seems good enough.

Check the wall adapter you have. I have the original still, and it's output reads as about 5 volts and 2 amps. I'd make sure yours is along those lines.

You can just plug it in, the converter will only use what it can, I use this with 9V 3A to convert to 5V, the max current draw I measured is ~ 1.9A.

Unfortunately, when I plugged it up to my PlayStation 3, the light came on, indicating that it was on, but the PS3 didn't see it at all. It may be because it's formatted to NTFC by default and I think that the PS3 only reads FAT32 format. That should make it add additional space.

Hello, please look at all of the negative comments on the site: the converter dies out after some time. Mine died after 2 weeks but some on the site mention much shorter times.

could you please check and tell me what's the rating for the external DC supply ? Vdc ? and current rating (mA)?appreciate your help.thx

The seller doesn't specify the rating and there are no markings on the adapter.The unit I purchased came with a 5A fuse installed.The cord is approximately 4' long and constructed from 20AWG wire.At 3 amps the voltage loss would be around .25 volt through the adapter's wiring.This represents approx. 2% loss in voltage with 12 volts applied as its source.

From the Sony manual : " Use a commercially available AC power adapter (rated output voltage/current: 6 v DC / 700 ma ). " Amazon sells at least one that will work with the Sony. Look up "Universal DC adapter power supply" in the Amazon search engine. You need a unit to put out 6 volts and a minimum of 700 milliamps of current. The center pinon the adapter plug is positive + ( most are ). The Velleman Compact Universal DC adapter power supply from Amazon looks like a good choice, and has excellent reviews. Good hunting !

I do not know the correct amperage but when I received mine it had a test strip and it topped out at 123 amps if that helps!

I wouldn't think it matters at all. I have never seen this low a rating- are you sure it isn't 3 amp or 2.5amp ? either way is shouldn't matter- there is probably a fuse to insure no overload. BTW- the one I bought seemed to work for 30 seconds and next thing it wasn't supplying any power at all. I never returned it , just used the old one that wasn't really bad. My alarm system needed a new battery and a fuse.

What the specs I have are: input 100-240V / 50/60 Hz --- output 12V - 2A / Center pin positive. NOT so sure this will work for you being 12VDC. The Amp rating is max load it can handle, but the output make destroy the hard drive controller. NEED to find one with 5VDC output with 1A or max of 2.5A. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't recommend using this for a ps3 I'd go get an external bar drive for it. This is an internal and it could mess it up

DC. Depends on how many amps that converter is rated for and how many volts at your input. At 12 volt input you will needs to pull 8.3 amps.
